Synopsis:
Darkseid has kidnapped Beautiful Dreamer, a young woman from Supertown. Four of her friends use a boom tube to reach Earth to find her. They are Mark Moonrider, Big Bear, Serifan, and Vykin the Black. When they arrive a young photographer takes their picture and a shot of the boom tube before it vanishes.

The photos reach Jimmy Olsen at the Daily Planet who shows them to Clark Kent. After hearing the story from Jimmy, Superman sets out to find the young men known as the Forever People. Inter-Gang is already watching the kids for Darkseid. When they see Superman they attack, but the Man of Steel defeats them.

Superman then helps the Forever People locate Beautiful Dreamer. Darkseid sends Gravi-Guards to combat Superman. The Forever People then summon the Infinity Man who defeats the Gravi-Guards. Darkseid then releases Beautiful Dreamer. Superman then asks to visit Supertown. He begins taking the boom tube provided by his new young friends, but he changes his mind. He decides to stay on Earth which has become a battleground in a larger conflict.
